I have a real on and off thing with Wes Anderson's films, while I love some (Rushmore, Bottle Rocket) I abhor others (Royal Tenebaums, The Life of Aquatic of zzzzzz) Moonrise Kingdom is in the prior, I really enjoyed it with reservations, mainly that the story is a bit slim and the children's acting left a bit to be desired. Overall though a fun way to spend 90mins and what a treat to see a modern film that is actually only 90mins.

While it looses it's way a bit after a brilliant opening, it's still fun as hell if you don't take it too seriously.

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.
